No matter where you live, life inevitably gets into a routine. What was once fresh, exciting and new is now just a regular part of your life. People, plants and pets all end up in the "everyday" pile of our lives.
Not that there is nothing special about these things in our lives. Instead, we need to make the effort to see the spectacular, the unique and the intriguing in the things under our noses.
Life has gotten into a routine here. It is no longer strange to have groups of elementary school children following you up to your apartment so they can talk to you. It is no longer strange to be given kimchi three times in one week from different people. It is slightly strange to be given a beautiful cake from a lady we don't remember but who remembers us.
It is no longer strange to get 7 days off in one month. Regular? No. Unforeseen? No. Appreciated? Yes.
It has become part of our lives for Emily to consistently receive marks above 95% in her school work.
We have a good life and we are thankful. God is taking very good care of us. We are healthy, we are happy and we are making good friends. Life is good, and we are thankful.
